Comparison of Fractions

Comparison of fractions: Suppose, some fractions are to be arranged in ascending or descending order of magnitude.

Fractions can be compared in many ways. Find below 4 different ways of doing it. If denominators are same, like 56/98 and 57/98, then just compare the numerators,
So the rule is:
a         b
--- > ---,       if  a > b
n         n
Since 56 < 57,
56/98 < 57/98.
